BartleyLabs
Works in development.
Bartley Labs is where new editions are written. Each entry below is a living draft: structure first, prose evolving day by day. Pages may move, change, or split as the engine and the acting curator do their work.
The books here share a profile: serious subjects, diffuse, advancing, often interdisciplinary, and not yet served by a definitive treatment. They are also chosen to demonstrate the wide range of topics the Bartley engine can build on. Human Experience Design sits at the artistic end; Human Longevity and Performance at the evidence-based science end. Chromium Patterns stands in for the kind of internal body of knowledge a large enterprise might commission, modeled on a massive open source project. As you browse, consider what a Bartley edition of your own domain might look like.
These editions don’t really exist yet. You can browse them, and we hope you find them useful, but each one remains in development until a sponsor or curator brings it the rest of the way. To sponsor an existing edition, to curate one, or to commission a new edition in a field you care about, write to us.
